Great control and power especially paired up with a xc 6.0. I just wish the backing plate threads were a more common size, so you are stuck with Milwaukee only backing plates which limits your options.

Exceeded my expectations

Good polisher has the torque but wish they made a brushless model

Great product! I’ve used it for sanding and polish work already and it has proven to be an asset for my shop.

Gets a little hot and eats batteries for lunch but does the job well. Higher speed than a dril with great torque to buff sand and polish.

Slowly replacing all my corded tools for the battery types. and the Milwaukee’s are my favorites. Waited for the release of this polisher sander and am not disappointed its compact tough and works great.

I use this exclusively for polishing and detailing plastic headlights and hard to reach places on my vehicles. The 4.0 XC battery works great to provide the power needed to remove tough blemishes with the proper compounds. It takes a fraction of the time to clean foggy headlights as it did by hand and easy to control preventing damage to plastic components.

I use this with Roloc abrasive discs and sanding discs for cleaning aluminum and steel prior to welding. It has tons of torque even on the high speed setting. With agressive use it runs through the standard batteries fairly quick so best to get the high cap types.

Great product. I have all the Milwaukee M12 tools. they all work great.

Light weight, good for buffing, but unfortunately you can not purchase sanding discs.

Was skeptical about this polisher, but having done the cockpit of my sailboat, I’m a big advocate. A 7″ polisher is good for the hull, but way to big and cumbersome for the cockpit. The Milwaukee 3″ polisher is perfect. Two batteries were enough to get everything done with power to spare. Surprised other manufacturers don’t have a product in this “small polisher” category.

Very easy assembly and works great

This thing is awesome! Battery life is pretty good considering what you’re doing with the tool. Only regret is I should’ve bought one sooner.
